Grognards Bolt Action Demo Day
2024-10-26 | 839, N Roselle Road, Roselle, 60172, United States
Greetings and welcome to our Grognards Bolt Action Demo Day! We’ll be hosting a day full
of introductory demos and skirmish games for both new and returning players alike, all to get an
understanding of the new 3rd edition and form a community of like-minded players excited to
get out and play one of the most approachable WW2 miniature games out there! Demo tables
for quick introductory games to the rules as well as entire skirmish-sized forces if you want to
give full games a try will be available for newcomers to use, so don’t fret if you don’t have any
models or game knowledge yet – this day is here to show you the ropes and get you aboard!
–
– For the demo portion of the day we’ll have people on hand to give you an introduction to
the basic game mechanics and concepts over a small infantry engagement. Concepts like orders,
movement, attacking, and pinning – all core parts of the game that you’ll be shown in an easy to
learn way!
–
– For the core of the day we’ll be having sets of paired learning skirmish games where you can
learn and familiarize yourself with more game rules like weapon teams and vehicles, and go
deeper into the nuances of the rules introduced in the demos. Plus we’ll have some fun
achievements you can strive for during the event itself for your shot at prizes!
–
– If you already have a force built this’ll be a great way to get some games in and learn the new
edition while meeting like minded locals for future games, but if you don’t have any models or
familiarity with the game yet we will have skirmish forces on hand you’ll be able to use to learn
and play! You can even join the event after trying the demos if you find yourself liking it (so long
as we haven’t run out of armies yet!)
–
– The Structure of the Skirmish Games is as follows:
– The day starts at 11am, you’ll be paired into an opponent as soon as someone is available! We’ll
go until around 7:30 PM, give or take a bit to let people finish out their games.
– Game size is 500pts, you need to have a Rifle Platoon in your force, and you may bring an
Armoured Platoon so long as it doesn’t contain vehicles rated as heavy or super heavy tanks.
– During the course of your games you can achieve the following for raffle tickets which we’ll use
to distribute prize support at the end of the day:
– Getting Started – Play a game
– Having a Blast – Play two games, and an additional ticket for each game played from then on
– Born Survivor – Have your rifle Platoon Commander survive 2 games
– We’ll See Ourselves Out – Have a unit Rout

FALL OFFENSIVE
2025-10-26 12:00 - 16:00 | Cardboard Slingers, 285 Restigouche Rd, Oromocto, New Brunswick, E2V 2H2, Canada
This event is aimed at revitalizing the local Bolt Action scene in the area. It seems that since the
pandemic and just before the launch of 3rd Edition, a lot of the local Bolt Action groups have
dwindled. While games may not have been happening there has definitely been an ongoing
want for more hosted events it just seemed that local hobby organizers may have slowed down.
I have spoken with plenty of local wargamers at multiple different LFGS and it seems they are
more than interested in diving back into full-on Bolt Action gaming; this event is one of many
that will hopefully accomplish that.
This event is a smaller one consisting of lists of 450pts and encompassing two games where
victory points will be earned and tracked for tournament placing. Having a smaller
beginner-friendly tournament is crucial as it makes it more approachable for those that may be
on the fence, returning after a hiatus or those that are more rusty on the ruleset. Furthermore, to
allow this to be a beginner-friendly event I have offered up multiple loaner forces from my
collection to be used on that day. This allows people who are interested in the game system to
try it out and hopefully get them into an amazing, friendly wargaming community. Finally the
smaller amount of points allows for people returning to or learning the game to take time with
the rules and ask questions when needed, where I will be there to answer.
To wrap up, as previously mentioned that hope of this game day is to be one of many going
forward. Hopefully this event can catalyze future support to have larger tournaments. I have
been in contact with a fellow hobbyist in Moncton (a larger nearby city) to already plan a future
tournament day in late November. To create momentum to achieve this community
engagement, I plan to offer prize support hopefully granted by you guys at the Warlord Games
Team. I also will be making some homemade plaques for: Top General (first place), Wooden
Spoon (last place) and Best Painted. Having the last one being voted on the day of. Finally I
wish to create a spoof trophy cup for the local area for the ‘2025-2026 season’ so to speak.
Naming it the Golden Tiger, having it 3d-printed with my printer and painted gold. With the
winner of each local tournament named on a plaque upon the trophy. All of this combined will
ideally create lots of local engagement and future attendance within the local Bolt Action
community.
Bolt Action has been my main wargaming hobby for years now and I wish to share this
wonderful game system with as many people as I can. For me at the end of the day it allows
you to talk about your hobby with others, de-stress, share laughs and admire cool paintjobs!

UEA Historical Wargame Taster - Bolt Action!
2026-05-02 12:00 - 17:00 | JSC 2.02, Chancellors Dr, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TQ, United Kingdom
We’re looking at using this taster event as a way to get players into the world of Historical wargaming and bty extent, Bolt Action. At our university, Warhammer and its variations are the main game systems played so presenting a cheaper (and more fun!) alternative to get more people into the hobby. – If you can’t get new people, it becomes a ticking timebomb.
We’ve divided our event into two distinct parts, Firstly we are running a semi-competitive tournament for those who have already played the system to be able to roll some dice as well as using our support prize to give a 1st place. Secondly, we’ll be running a winter thematic beginners table, where each person will control a platoon and learn how to play the game in a friendly environment and if there is enough time, play a full game to confirm. This event will also be used by myself as an idea of how successful Bolt Action will be at this university, as there are no other people planning to run it.
